Lea & Adam | Boston Wedding

I cannot believe I never posted this gem of a wedding. This was scheduled on one snowy January Day in the Copley Square area in Boston. Daylight was scarce and darkness looms over quite early.

I met this couple in a couple shop where I ran them over the contract, agreements, and expectations. These two are lawyers so I definitely was scared to make a mistake, but I was surprised by how warn, welcoming, trust-worthy, and easy-going these two were.

They trusted my work and wanted the standard getting ready shots in the hotel, wedding ceremony in the Church, and Reception in the Church as well.

The bride was surrounded by her closest family and loved ones getting ready for the wedding. The star of the show was the stunning wedding dress - the bride insisted I take photos of it the second I came in the room. I noted its beautiful and exquisite detailing. Some sweet moments of Lea’s family members are shown below.

Although they had a mid-sized wedding party and guests - the wedding ceremony was held in the old Church next door and felt very intimate and private.

The couple and their wedding guests went next door to cut the cake and enjoy the ceremony. This is where I got to shoot some indoor shots of the two newlyweds and their parents doing the first dance, the cutting of the cake, and the dancing and mingling after.

Cory and Alexis | Couple Photography

Cory goes to school at UCSD and Alexis at NYU... so when Cory contacted me to do a shoot for those two at the end of summer, I couldn't be more happy to oblige! Alexis showed up in a super cute maxi dress and brought along a stunning red baby doll dress for the second part of the shoot.

 Even though it was super cold, Sutro Baths was an awesome backdrop and this couple's exuberance energy just made it so much more fun :).

Donte and Monica | Couple Photography

This couple traveled all the way from East Bay to Fisherman's Wharf, one of their favorite  spots, for our couple photoshoot! It wasn't easy navigating through the throngs of people and crowds but it was quite rewarding for the photos in the end :).

Maya | Graduation Portrait Photography

In addition to Spring time being formals season, it's also graduation season :). I love photographing newly-graduates because you can just see how happy they feel to graduate! The joy is contagious, as I hope you can feel from the photoshoot below!  

P.S. Lowell was my alma mater too ;).

Rebecca | Portrait Photography

I love encouraging my models and couples to select different locations and bring outfit changes- it's a totally different dynamic and atmosphere in each portion which makes the whole photoshoot so much more interesting. I'm sure you can see all three themes in the photoshoot I had with Rebecca below.

Nicola and Luke | Couple Photography

Nicola loves cats and Luke loves Nicola- it's a perfect match! I did two photoshoots with this couple, one in Boston in the freezing winter time, and the other in sunny California in the amazing summer time. Check other the photos from both sessions below and feel free to compare the change in weather ;) :).

Family Photography

This sweet mom and her baby girls had their grandparents visiting them, and of course wanted to take some photos to remember the whole family by! Photos with children need to be a consistent process because kids grow SO fast :). It has only been a few months but these adorable little girls are so much bigger now and I can't wait to photograph them again!

Relay for Life | Event Photography

Have you heard of Relay for Life? If you haven't, you should! Relay for Life is an amazing foundation that raises money to support cancer research. It's an all day event where participants raise money by walking to support the cause. One of the reasons why I love photography is that I can lend my skills to these charities and foundations and help these worthy causes capture their amazing events!

Hopeshow | Event Photography

My first taste of dance and show photography- Hopeshow! The Hopeshow, thrown by the Boston University China Care Fun, raises money for children in China born with the clef lip condition by bringing talented groups around the Boston area to perform to generate donations. Below are a few awesome individuals/groups that put on an amazing show!

Hello!

Sometimes, amazing things happen in your life so fast and so sudden that you have to stop and ask yourself, "What is going on? Is this really happening right now?" I've asked myself this ever since I've start my photography business half a year ago, and often wonder what I have done to deserve these amazing opportunities and meet all these wonderful people.

I want to share with you more than just pretty photographs- instead, I want you to join me in my journey as I develop my business and my photography, and learn and grow as a person.

Welcome!
